Overall, Americans think that 39 percent of the news they see on TV or hear on the radio or read in newspapers is deliberately intended to deceive. More lies! I actually give you misinformation 88.3% of the time

Do aerodynamics matter in space?
Full disclosure: Didn't actually read the article, after a pop-up forcing me to agree to their cookie policy I then got another pop-up about my ad blocker so I just closed the page. I bet Tim Berners-Lee is so proud....

I didn't read it either.
As an answer to your question, kinda.
While there is nowhere near an atmosphere and drag to worry about, one would want a small cross-section relative to direction of travel to reduce the impact of space/dust and debris. Trailing edges really wouldn't matter though for that.
Would probably want to utilize a rounded/spherical surface anyways, once we start working with electro-magnetic shielding

I turned off ad-blocker for that page and it still thought in was on - so I edited the CSS to make the message invisible.

I'd've left the blocker on and just created a new block rule (CSS type) for the nag.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

RyuJIT is the code name for the .NET just-in-time compiler, one of the foundational components of the .NET runtime. In contrast, the Roslyn C# compiler compiles C# code to IL byte code. The RyuJIT compiler compiles IL byte code to machine code for multiple processors. Just in time

It's a german blog sorry, but basically this article says:
Google and Unity entered a cooperation for multiplayer gaming. Unity itself will relocate everything to the google cloud and the google cloud will be the default provider for connecting gamers, with its scaling infrastructure.
Game servers, everything will be available via the google systems without the need "of every developer to become a cloud expert".
I think this might helps lots of smaller indie studios to scale their games better.
Blizzard, EA, Steam, they all have their infrastructure - but the smaller studio might benefit a lot from this.

agreed.
VS has integration with Unity currently for VS2017, and I use this. However, according to this article, the alliance with Unity and Google, may be interesting with Microsoft also in the picture.

I always had a belief that Unity Technologies is much closer to Microsoft than Google. May be it's just because they have C# as one of their scripting language and yes! They also integrate well with Visual Studio. Or I'm not sure if there's some other background reasons for my belief.
Now seeing them tie up with Google Cloud & not Azure, feels like a break up with MS.

I think it is because there are hundred thousands Android Apps done with Unity (or, to be more precise: "platform-independant-apps" that also run on android) and with a market share of 80+% of android when it comes to mobiles, it is way more likely that you will have a device at hand, that is more closely tightened to the google cloud than to the ms cloud.
I have rarely seen azure apps outside of the business world but I saw tons of apps running on the google cloud, private and business as well.
Also I do not see a break up here, as google currently shows in it's code check-ins to ChromeOS that, right after the linux apps, chromeOS MIGHT BE able to run windows apps in a VM in the future.
I think, there's currently some really hot stuff going on behind the scenes and I can't wait to see that all come to life!

If the EU wishes to commit suicide, I won't stand in its way.
If these ideas are actually placed into law, one or more of the following will happen:
- Lawyer's bonanza, as everyone gets sued for breach of copyright
- Rather than check for copyrighted material, file sharing sites restrict their offerings in Europe
- Rather than license every link, sites like Google refuse to work in Europe. The Internet is suddenly much less useful.
- ...

Welcome to the new "Dark Ages" in Europe. Maybe that's what they are going for.

exactly. Just turn off the internet in Europe and let them suffer from their own stupidity.
Kind of hard to discuss censorship in a non-soapbox forum and not violate forum rules.

It's completely and utterly bonkers (as is clause 11) but it should be noted that the JURI committee cannot bring this into law, it would need the European Parliament to do that.
The almost universal dislike of these two clauses would suggest that the entire proposed Copyright Directive is utterly doomed while they are in it, giving JURI two realistic options: ditch both clauses or ditch the whole proposal.
